Review

Damn, I don’t know how many times I spat my tea out laughing at some of the comical scenes in this book. It is a bloody, hilarious, and fantastic roller coaster of a ride in the Dragon Reich series.

Dragon Bone Elixir is the third book in the series by Jordan Loyal Short, and it just gets better and better as I continue my journey through a series that has grown deep roots in me over the last couple of years with its witty dialogue, Excellent characters and wonderful storytelling.

What I absolutely love about this series is its action-packed, fast-paced, and full of very unexpected plot twists that will leave you turning the pages into the late night.If you love your fantasy full of humorous scenes, politically intriguing, magic, dragons, and a full diverse set of characters from all walks of the fantasy world, then you will absolutely love this series.

In this book, we follow some of the main protagonists to the story. Izola and Vicktor, as they team up with the eccentric professor Jaber Wormwood. He’s a mad alchemist who loves to dable with his own elixirs. But since the rise of the Thule society, they have been on run.

Professor Wormwood is a wanted man. He holds a secret elixir that’s locked away in his mindscape. A cure that could help cure tumorlings or by falling into the wrong hands be used for evil by the Thule society. But first, Izola and Victor must help him navigate his past and unlock his missing memories while being hunted by a deranged ex pupil of the professor hell bent on getting his elixir for creating a dragon army.

Absolutely fantastic. if you haven’t read any of Jordan Loyal Shorts’ books, I very highly recommend that you do…😁💙💥🐲
